Video Summary

In this lesson we are going to install our WordPress theme for our website. So what I want you to do is get into your dashboard and whether you’re using SiteGround hosting platform using a subdomain versus mine demo one, or you’re using your own from local by flywheel, the WordPress platform where you can build websites on your local computer. Either way will work. We just need to be here in the WordPress dashboard and what we need to do is have the motors insurance finance WordPress theme, download that zip file and open it and make sure that you can see the modem theme and the modems child. 

So we’re going to do once you have those is we’re going to come over here to appearance and we’re gonna click on Themes. 

Alright, so what we’re seeing here is we got four different themes. These are just really bare bones. They don’t really have a lot to them, but they are given to us when we stall our platform, but we want a more robust theme that we can build off of so we’ve already got that downloaded. So click on Add New. 

And we’re gonna click on Upload Theme. 

And we’re gonna choose the file. So what we’re going to do first is we’re going to pick the motions theme. We’re gonna use that first and we’re going to click open and we’re going to click install now. 

And now that you see if you see that theme installed successfully, what we’re going to do is we’re going to don’t click Activate, what we’re going to do is we’re going to go back to go to themes page and we can see our themes over here but what we want to do is we’re going to go and click add new Upload Theme, and we are going to choose File and we’re going to click on modems child, we’re going to open and we’re going to install and we’re going to activate 

so now we have this activated so if we come over here and it says my WordPress and we double click or right click, and we open up into a new tab. Let’s see what we have. We have the logo, we have latest posts, and we don’t really we’re not seeing too much. because that’s that’s because we have to import the demo data. But before we get into that, I’m gonna hop I’m gonna cut this video off because you might want to come back and learn about child themes and I want to go over the importance of why we use child themes, so you’ll want to learn about that in the next video.
